I am trying to set up NTFS permissions for a "locked down" folder. I want users to be able to create, modify, delete (overwrite) files in a folder, but I don't want users to have the ability to create or delete folders.

I am stumped on this. I tried playing with the Apply To: Files only - and it doesn't seem to work. What is the best way to accomplish this?

This first lets them create files in that folder. The second lets them edit and delete the files in the folder. And, obviously, they still need access to read and list the contents of the directory. Read permissions can be "This folder, subfolders and files"

I think I have this (sort of) straightened out. I think I am seeing the desired results. Here is what I've got (attached). So far it seems to be working as I want it to. However, once I enable Access Based Enumeration, I can't see it?? When it isn't enabled, I can see it, traverse the folder, open files, delete files. I feel so lost ?!?!
